Even then, Dugtrio is mainly just a revenge killer/cleaner/threat remover. Of course, in PBB where tiers don't exist, Mega Gengar is mostly better than it. However, Dugtrio still has a niche like what you've said "doesn't take up a mega slot, can be sashed, breaks through special walls". I still think that it's pretty amazing and should deserve B- rank, as it's just like Gothitelle, being capable of removing the right threats(e.g. Excadrill, Toxapex, Tyranitar, Heatran, Lucario, Magnezone and Aegislash), but can't do much outside of that.
